BURLINGTON, ON
Both Mayor Meed Ward and Ward 1 Councillor Kelvin Galbraith were absent this morning.
Councillor Bentivegna chaired the meeting.
There was a quorum – but just.
This situation is an example of why a seven-member Council is not really that viable.

(Swimming with Sharks) If they can’t start a meeting without you, well, that’s a meeting worth going to, isn’t it? And that’s the only kind of meeting you should ever concern yourselves with.
How did that guy make out with that assignment.?
“This situation is an example of why a seven-member Council is not really that viable.” You had that proven with the title of the article.
It wouldn’t be an issue if all 7 members of council showed up for work on a regular basis!! Isn’t this what they are being paid to do??
Including responding to their resident’s questions and concerns?
